I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

The enormous golden scorpion, with its thick tentacles moving beneath it, charged swiftly toward Naraku.

The ground vibrations originated from it.

Phew~~

Almost instantly, the giant golden scorpion arrived opposite Naraku, then abruptly stopped, creating a gust of wind that crashed against Naraku's body.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and her hair danced in the breeze.

Naraku, however, seemed to be rooted to the ground, without retreating or swaying in the slightest.

And he didn't seem nervous at the arrival of the giant golden scorpion; instead, he had a smile on his face.

"Not bad courage, human. It seems there's a reason you were able to cross the sea of ​​poisonous fog outside."

With its two large pincers on either side and its tail pointing high, the golden giant scorpion stared down at Naraku for a while before slowly speaking.

“Alright, so you are the leader of Death Scorpion?” The difference in height forced Naraku to look up at the other, and he said with a smile.

“That’s right, my name is ‘Yae,’ and I am the eighth leader of our clan!”

The golden giant scorpion named Yae answered in a muffled voice.

Then it countered with a question to Naraku: "Human, did you come here to become a contractor of our race? If so, then you must accept my test."

Naraku sized him up and said, "A test? I think you should first introduce your clan before you test me. That would give me more motivation."

"Want to learn about our clan? Sure, I'll give you a brief introduction." Yae began to introduce his clan with great arrogance.

Through its explanation, Naraku quickly learned the specific details of the Death Scorpion clan.

At the same time, the more he learned, the more surprised he became.

Because in Yae's introduction, the situation of the Death Scorpion Clan can be described as one of the three holy lands that lack the inheritance of immortal arts.

The so-called three sacred sites are Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain, and Shikkotsu Forest, which are three secret realms for communicating with spirit beasts.

Like the toad of Mount Myōboku.

The Death Scorpion is very similar to the other.

Aside from lacking the inheritance of immortal arts, members of the Death Scorpion clan can possess intelligence comparable to that of humans with just a little training.

Moreover, their combat strength is not bad either.

There are several other giant Death Scorpions like Yae, and all of them possess strength comparable to elite Jonin.

In particular, Yae, in terms of chakra alone, is already on par with the Five-Tails, Kokuo.

"Well, now that you know about our clan, are you willing to accept the test?" Yae asked again after the introduction.

This test is a rule established by their ancestors, the Death Scorpion clan, to put humans who traverse the sea of ​​poisonous fog through.

Although they crave battle, they will never serve the weak.

Only those who are strong enough to gain their approval are qualified to sign a contract with them.

"Of course, what is your test?"

The Death Scorpion clan was in a better situation than Naraku had anticipated, so he naturally wanted to subdue them even more.

"The test requires you to fight me. I don't expect you to defeat me, but you must at least last for half an hour without losing." Seeing that Naraku was willing to accept the test, Yae did not hesitate and immediately explained the content of the test.

Naraku became very interested: "Is that so? Then let's begin. I'd also like to see what you're capable of!"

Testing him in battle perfectly met his needs.

Just as the other party wanted to test him, he also wanted to actually test the other party's strength and level.

Yae looked at the human in front of her with surprise.

This human seems very confident in his abilities.

That makes sense, considering they are people who can cross the sea of ​​poisonous fog without any protective gear.

If possible, it would also like the humans in front of it to pass its test.

After all, the ancestral rules are strict. Unless a contractor appears and summons them, even as the leader, it cannot leave the Sea of ​​Poison Mist at will.

Yae had absolute control over the other Death Scorpions, and soon the surrounding Death Scorpions retreated, making way for the upcoming battle.

"Come on, human, unleash all your power and attack me!" Yae lowered his body slightly and shouted at Naraku.

"Give me the first move, huh? Well then, I won't stand on ceremony." Naraku stretched his body and then strode forward.

Lightning Release: Lightning Body!

In just a few steps, Naraku suddenly transformed into lightning, instantly increasing his speed to an astonishing level.

His cultivation level broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Even without using his true energy, Naraku's power was significantly enhanced.

At this moment, Naraku's chakra output and his use of the "Lightning Thunder Fist" have both reached a new level.

brush!

In an instant.

Naraku flew through the air and appeared above Yae.

He followed up with a punch that landed squarely on the opponent's head.

Boom! ! !

The addition of the "Electric Body" further amplified Naraku's already astonishing strength.

Even though he was as big as a small mountain, Yae was still forcefully slammed into the ground by Naraku's punch, causing the earth to tremble violently.

"Ouch, that hurts! I was careless. This human is incredibly strong."

Whether in terms of speed or strength, Naraku's performance clearly exceeded Yae's expectations.

As it was driven into the ground, it felt the pain in its head, and was both surprised and delighted.

What's astonishing is Naraku's power.

The good news is that their clan may actually be welcoming an excellent contractor this time.

Of course, despite the surprise, Yae did not forget about the battle.

Even if it's just to prevent contractors from looking down on him, Yae wouldn't allow himself to appear weak.

Despite the pain, Yae did not rush to get up. Instead, she swung her scorpion tail and fiercely thrust it at Naraku above.

brush! !

The enormous scorpion tail blurred into a blur and appeared in front of Naraku almost instantly.

Regardless of the force of the scorpion's tail strike, the venom contained in its stinger alone is already extremely dangerous.

The poisonous fog in the Sea of ​​Poisonous Fog comes from the stinger venom of the Death Scorpion, and this is just ordinary Death Scorpion venom.

If it were an eighth-level one, the venom from the tail sting would be at least ten times more potent.

It's no exaggeration to say that touching it is fatal.

Yae's scorpion tail attack was fast, but it couldn't outpace the perception of divine sense and Naraku's nerve reflexes.

Chapter 87 Suppression and Submission

It was like a flash of lightning.

As the scorpion's tail approached, Naraku unleashed lightning beneath his feet, using it as leverage to instantly teleport away at supersonic speed, causing the stinger to miss its mark and merely creating a chaotic explosion of air.

"Lightning Release: Thunderclap Finger!"

When they stopped, Naraku was already standing opposite Yae.

From a distance, Naraku raised his hand and shot a bolt of lightning at his opponent.

thunderbolt!!!

A thunderclap struck the giant scorpion pincers.

Lightning struck and exploded.

The giant scorpion pincers were punched, leaving a crater, but they were not pierced through.

"The defense is decent!"

Upon observing the damage to the scorpion pincers, Naraku was not disappointed; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied.

With its current power, "Lightning Release: Thunderclap Finger" has already reached the level of a near-S-rank ninjutsu.

The fact that the eight scorpion pincers were not pierced proves their remarkable sturdiness.

Moreover, Yae's reaction speed is also quite excellent; otherwise, he would never have been able to keep up with Jing Lei's speed.

"What powerful lightning release! If I hadn't used the pliers to block it, it would have been able to penetrate right into my body."

With his pincers damaged, Yae was startled again. He quickly moved his thick tentacles, unleashing a speed that was beyond his enormous size, and began to move rapidly.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Cannon!"

While moving, Yae did not forget to retaliate. He circulated his chakra and opened his mouth to unleash a huge wind bullet containing high-density wind release chakra towards Naraku's location.
